Vessel Sealing
The LigaSure vessel sealing system provides precise energy delivery and
electrode pressure to vessels for a controlled time period to achieve a complete
and permanent fusion of the vessel lumen. This system works on isolated arteries
and veins up to and including 7 mm in diameter and tissue bundles. The system
has been optimized to produce minimal sticking, charring, or thermal spread to
adjacent tissue.
